“I have been utilizing Alena’s drop in visit services weekly for quite a few months now!! She is consistent, reliable & so good with my little Theo (who can be a handful, high energy). I will continue to book with her & highly recommend her services :)”
“Beata was AMAZING! This was my first time booking services on Rover and she truly relieved so much of my anxiety! She’s very responsive, attentive, and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to check in on my pup while I was away. Thanks again for your help!”
About: I’ve helped my parents take care of animals basically my whole 26 years of life including dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. I am a former zookeeper who now spends her time taking care of her 2 cats and leopard gecko. I am a full time teacher, so I typically am not available until the afternoons during the week. With that being said, I am available during the holidays! I clean my cats litter box everyday, change their water everyday while I find a substantial water fountain, feed my cats 3 times a day in small amounts, and I do maintenance care for my leopard gecko everyday like cleaning his insects storage bin, cleaning his calcium bowl, and also giving him fresh water everyday.
“Melissa was awesome! She is professional, kind and genuine. We had no concerns after our Wheaton terrier wouldn’t leave her side on her initial visit. Having never used a service like this, Melissa won us over and we will definitely request her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have assisted my neighbors and family friends with their own dogs by feeding them, taking them out, or house sitting overnight when needed. I have grown up around the love of dogs with owning two labs, one that is ten years old and one that just turned seven. I have a huge heart for dogs and would be a perfect fit for your needs!! I am a graduate student with no other job, therefore my hours are super flexible and can communicate with whatever you need to make sure that your dog is loved and taken care of. I have experience with all types of dogs and love to keep them active with walks or even just playing with them in the yard. I love dogs and will show them a lot of love and attention! I am home from college and don’t have a job so my schedule is super flexible and can easily fit your dog care needs into my daily and weekly schedule. Currently, my house has a fenced in backyard so I let the dogs outside and watch over them. However if your house does not have a fence I am used to walking the dogs to get them exercise and having them do their business on the walk. Either way I would love to walk your dogs and make sure they have the exercise and attention they need
About: My love for dogs is fur-ever growing! I’ve had dogs since I could remember. That bond I had with my first pup quickly grew into a passion, allowing me to enter the dog training world where I’ve befriended hundreds of dogs from all sizes and ages! Dogs gravitate towards me, maybe they sense that love (or smell the treats in my pockets) ;) Your pup and I will become the best of buds!! I have a part-time job, and I multitask very well, leaving me plenty of time to care for our furry friends. As a dog mom myself I know things come up last minute, and I want someone trustworthy enough to call in a time crunch…that’s me! As someone with lots of experience around dogs, I know they need a lot of enrichment. I could never get bored playing a little tug-of-war. I also know how some of our fur babies can get into trouble, so I keep a watchful eye out for things they might get into.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Estero
We have used Aaniya multiple times to care for Mario. This time was for a week where she dropped in to feed, brush and play with him. She also scooped litter and made sure his water fountain was running and filled. We found Mario all fluffy and nice. The apartment was neat and tidy. Aaniya provided daily updates and followed all instructions. We plan on using her again and would recommend her without any hesitation. Mario loves her!
Excellent. Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away, always on time, kept the feeding area and litter boxes spotless, and sent detailed updates with cute photos after every visit. Vincenzo, our cat, was happy when we returned. Highly recommended!
Lily was awesome. She visited with my 35 lb dog, Cooper three times a day (feed, water, and 30 minute walk) and gave him a ‘report card’, detailing pee, poop, walk details and other important information. I was pleased by her devotion to making him comfortable.
Catherine is a true GEM! She is highly intelligent, caring and loves dogs 🐾 She was extremely accommodating to us and took excellent care of our two mini Aussies. Came on time, and not only walked them but stayed and played with them too by our pool. They love her. We will be using her for sure in the future!
We booked Cheryl for drop in visits for our three cats while my wife and I were out of town, couldn’t have been more amazing! Cheryl gave our squeamish kitty the medication she needed without any issues, and provided us with over a dozen pictures every drop on visit and even a video every day! Was awesome having the peace of mind knowing that such a great sitter was taking care of our kitties, would recommend Cheryl to anyone!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Estero is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
